French don't like Royal trip to China

Socialist candidate Segolene Royal went to China with the hopes of improving her foreign policy credentials and recovering from a semi-diastrous trip to the Middle East. Unfortunately for her, it was not enough for the French back home. 54% of the French people said that the trip was bad because Royal would do better devoting herself to their problems. Likewise, only 45% said it was good in improving her foreign policy cred.

The French were pretty much split evenly as to whether or not Royal's use of "bravitude" was voluntary or just clumsiness.
